Development story

Okay cool the game I’m gonna be talking about today is ‘Tearaway Unfolded’ it’s a adventure single-player platformer by Media Molecule. 

https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=RTPU7EbM&id=527BF3A4CFA2121CAAAE71618C5DB0B423C8D50E&thid=OIP.RTPU7EbMvKWGY7F5naSPEQHaJV&mediaurl=http%3a%2f%2fimages.pushsquare.com%2fgames%2fps4%2ftearaway_unfolded%2fcover_large.jpg&exph=756&expw=600&q=tearaway+unfolded&simid=607999392952157973&ck=A2C384EDC89140E049C629CBAFE704A3&selectedIndex=131&FORM=IRPRST

Very similar to the other hit series of games ‘Little Big Planet’ this game looks as if straight out of a arts and craft project but this game is purely made form paper. And defiantly made one in the process of creating its final look.

But before I get into it, I’ll tell you a little about this games history and why we have this version today. The original also know as the Vita version just ‘Tearaway’ was a PSVita exclusive and was made in 2013, it was supposed to feel like you were a god helping and controlling the world in this handheld console.

Sadly in the making of this game they had to remove and scrape a bunch of really good ideas and concepts because it wouldn’t come across how they wanted with the tech they had at the time. This game still had a great public reception and did really well. Overall still a successes.

Then the DualShock controller came out with the PS4 and this gave Media Molecule their first ever play with this new tech. This was just what they needed to make the Tearaway they wanted in the fist place.

And this I one of the things I like about this game is they really just went for it and made a new version of the game, fully saying that it was a remake and they just wanted to make the first better. I love to see when people know they can do better and just go for it.

Now with is this new tech and controller and the plot they really make you feel as if you and your controller are a vital character in this game. As they described it “getting your hands really into their world”. With the DualShock touchpad like feature I really feels like you true make the defining actions with in this game. And I believe that their main focus was to use this new controller to it maximum potential. 

https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=4BG%2bj38d&id=7E5DC081B097D3911A1AEB66DB935302A1C53168&thid=OIP.4BG-j38dSDqmEfCKjS2HZgHaEL&mediaurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.gaming-age.com%2fwp-content%2fuploads%2f2015%2f09%2ftearaway-unfolded-screen-3.jpg&exph=338&expw=600&q=tearaway+unfolded+light+controler&simid=607999298471726362&ck=45C2605BDA582F648F506850D22DA713&selectedIndex=14&FORM=IRPRST

So, who actual work on this…

Well their Designer was Rex Crowle,

And their Composers Kenneth C M young and Brian D’Oliveira

The purpose of this game was to be a retelling and one of other reasons why was Rex’s idea had to fit in the console they were making it for, his vison had to be simplified which really for any designer to hear. But with the PS4 bigger and better storage and running capacity meant they could use old level designs and plot points. They could get down the world the want from a different perspective. This made everyone working on this game overall a lot happier and exited.

Although, now that the screen was bigger, and they had more power they took the painstakingly long way to make this game just so it would be more accurate.

In an interview with Rex answering the question How much paper did you go through making Unfolded? They states that,

“Our Engine Programmer, Mark; he actually has the number of how many sheets of paper there are in the game. I think it's fairly close to a million. I can't remember how many folds, but everything we make in the game, we actually do make out of digital sheets of paper in our editor before folding them in the worlds, which is kind of a time-consuming, pain-staking way to build a world, but it's more honest to it.”

https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=EHM%2bDskH&id=2DDA9D399814EAAF5BB1252065D6B109ED7F6966&thid=OIP.EHM-DskHFzkzDFNa9HGx1gHaEK&mediaurl=https%3a%2f%2f3.bp.blogspot.com%2f-iPlJ8_Z-KpU%2fV5VEEPwSTqI%2fAAAAAAAAJww%2fJYuvTi2OhOwW7P_q-yVPR7vi9gVzDiaSwCLcB%2fs1600%2ftearaway-unfolded-screen-4.jpg&exph=900&expw=1600&q=tearaway+unfolded&simid=608055382084487368&ck=50F24374A41A5841A8142FABFA696CAD&selectedIndex=125&FORM=IRPRST

This was so when you and the hero walk though this world the paper would fold and create itself when loading in. But is also said that the design crew has hand made with real paper a lot of the assent in the game as well as each character design. This was so they knew exactly how that paper was supposed to fold. The amount of effort to just be “more honest to it” blows my mind.

Now for all the individual animations like the little sway you do when stopped all the way to the characters blinks and eye movement this was done in ‘Max’ and the rendering for all the ads and when creating all of the characters and world they used ‘Blender’. Now I thought that was cool, but I found out that they had issues that were solved. But they had issues getting ‘Max’ and ‘Blender’ to work together and the only reason these to programs where used was that two different sets of worker were confident they could get the look they were looking for in these programs. After finding out it was a matter of how the were transferring files they got this game read to go in the span of 2 years.

Return to Monkey Island's art director talks inspirations and expectations

Return to Monkey Island’s art director talks inspirations and expectations

Now he’s serving as art director for Return to Monkey Island, the revival of the classic, pirate-themed adventure game series. I had a chance to talk with Crowle about his love for the Monkey Island…

I admire what Flick Solitaire is doing. It isn't doing anything radical like reinventing solitaire, because why would you? But it is trying to shine a light on some interesting people and things.

Flick Solitaire does this by using decks of cards created by different artists. There are pixelated decks, there's a cool comicky deck from Media Molecule artist Rex Crowle, and there's my favourite, an Ugly Medieval Cats deck, which I think is inspired.

More importantly, there's a brightly coloured Drag Deck, and this October, in honour of UK Black History Month, there will be a new deck each week created by a different black artist.

There seems to be a movement within the past few years in pushing this 2D cartoon style. Cartoon brew conducted a Q and A by email with 3 game creators. The first being Later Alligator by Lindsay and Alex Small-Butera’s Smallbu Animation. They are most famously known for their Baman and Piderman series. They talked about their creative decisions to have heavily detailed backgrounds and contrast it with flat drawings of alligators. They tried to push this noir style. The also stated that their main program they used was Toon Boom Harmony and Unity 2018.4. This to me says pretty much anyone who has an idea can make a game with hard work. Perhaps this new wave will continue giving more opportunities to 2D Animators to be involved with games. The next game they focus on is Knights and Bikes created by Rex Crowle and game programmer of Ratchet and Clank, Moo Yu. They talk about the reasons they chose a 2D art style claiming it was more achievable, and to allow more expressiveness. They then talk about the difficulties of getting the bikes just right and utilizing Spine 2D, Photoshop, and Unity. The last cartoon brew interviews is Adam Tierney, Bannon Rudis and Kay Yu regarding their game River City Girls. With their game they took an approach where the cinematics were 2D art and the gameplay was pixel art. They describe their process and how they got together to make their project. Overall these stories are inspiring to me as a freelancer. This proves to me there is a place for 2D animation in the gaming industry and looking at these projects can help me develop my game ideas.

As a demographic, they experienced replaced the missing perform time with playtime invested gaming.

How had this took place?

Technological innovation, through automation, experienced lowered the employment charge of these males by lowering demand for what Hurst referred to as reduce-skilled” labor.

And killing? Few factors are much more ubiquitous in gaming than killing. Every single a single of the trio of novel-like video games cited previously mentioned forces the player-protagonist to eliminate one particular or more of his or her closest buddies.
